How to understand calorie and energy density. The average person eats 3 to 5 pounds of food per day. So, if they were to eat as much in almonds as they could, that would be about 5 pounds of almonds. Since there are about 23 almonds in an ounce, that would be a total of 1840 almonds in a day.
Letâs assume that you eat 1700 calories per day, and you follow a diet that is roughly 40-percent carbohydrates, 30-percent protein, and 30-percent fat (a sensible, moderate diet). You eat 3 meals and 1 snack of almonds (1oz) each day. Using these numbers youâll be eating 57 grams of fat per day. Your snack of 1oz of almonds contains 14 grams of fat, leaving you with 14 grams of fat for each of your meals. This is the amount of fat found in 1 Tbsp of oil (olive, sesame, coconut, canola, etc) or Â½ of an avocado. One ounce of cheese contains 9 grams of fat, while 1 whole egg contains 6 grams.
